ORIGIN

This 1990 Mercedes-Benz 300SL was sold new at Caliber Motors in Anaheim, California and remained with the original owner’s family until it was acquired by the selling dealer in 2018. Finished in Smoke Silver Metallic over Creme Beige leather, the car shows just 25,126 miles and is powered by a 3.0-liter DOHC inline-six paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission. Service records are said to date back to new, and 2016 work included new shocks, struts, strut mounts, an oxygen sensor, and front brakes. This R129 is now being offered with the original window sticker, factory books and manuals, a removable hardtop with stand, a clean Carfax, and a clean California title.

The exterior is finished in Smoke Silver Metallic (702), contrasted by chromed 16″ alloy wheels. The car is equipped with an optional folding wind deflector, and the power soft top is protected by a hardshell tonnaeu cover when stowed. No history of accidents or other damage is reported on the Carfax.

The convertible top is equipped with a 3-piece backlight and features multiple layers. The removable hardtop has a heated glass rear window and is pictured in the gallery below along with its included stand. New front brake rotors, pads, and sensors were installed in 2016.

The cabin is trimmed in Creme Beige leather (275) with matching carpets and burlwood veneers. A set of matching Mercedes-Benz mats are present, and the car retains the original Becker radio. Per the seller the A/C, interior power features, and gauges work correctly. Detailed photos are provided of the seating surfaces, carpets, and interior wood trim. The headliner is pictured in the gallery below.

Just over 25k miles are shown on the 6-digit mechanical odometer.

Power is provided by a 3.0-liter 24-valve inline-six that was factory rated at 230 horsepower. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 5-speed automatic transmission. The seller states that service records are complete back to new and that the previous owners were proactive with preventative maintenance. In recent years the car has been serviced by AutoBahn Garage of Indio, California. The last notable service was performed in 2016 and included new shocks, struts, strut mounts, and an O2 sensor.

The original window sticker denotes the original colors and options. The only extra-cost item listed was a $30 California emissions test, and the original sticker price was $74,280.

The clean Carfax shows regular updates beginning in 1994 when the car had 12,655 miles and ending in 2016.
